Retreat Begins...

The Dow ended its 6 days rally with a 93 points retreat today, forming a short term evening star signal. Yes, it seems like the retreat that I have been expecting is coming just that few days earlier than expected. Like I mentioned yesterday, this retreat is inevitable and healthy for the market and whether the 10,000 points area becomes the next short term support level is critical for whether the market moves higher.

Today's ditch came on the back of a better than expected jobless claims number (see Stock Market Calendar), further reinforcing the fact that it is a technically driven market right now. Markets become extremely technical driven when its bottomy or toppy. This is definitely an intermediate term toppy market where a lot of uncertainty and profit taking takes place.
